“The private rooms will cost more than the dorms of course, but they are of such a good quality for a backpacker that it's well worth the extra money for a bit of comfort amidst the hostel life!” (Gids10)

“just tell the staff which room features you value most. Higher floors are quieter. Different sides have different views.” (484hilaryc)

“The street in front of the hotel is quiet, so any room is ok. As there is only 1 or 2 lifts, if you plan to go to the kitchen on the 5th floor often, choose a higher floor. That is if you don;t like working it out on the stairs.” (housepartymusic)

“3' or 4' floor, on the west side.” (Raffy2906)

Nov 4, 2014

“the rooms are basic but other facility's were on different floors e g gym, theatre room, games room and reading room so sleeping was all you needed to do in your room and being single the small room was great (single bed) and private it was adequate as i am 6ft 2 tall and 110 kg” (greyperth_Australia)

I've stayed in some amazing hostels in my years of travelling through Europe and Australia and I can safely say this is the NOT one of them. Space Hotel (hotel, really? lol) is terrible. They promote themselves as a luxury hostel or poshtel which just makes me laugh bahahaha. I usually don't write reviews unless I feel something is a...

There's lots of great things to say about this hostel. Beds (I stayed in a bunk) were comfy and sturdy. I could feel it when the guy above me moved, but only minimally. Lockers provided with good security. There were female dorms and mixed dorms. I was in the mixed dorm and it was just fine. Bathrooms were individual in...

I went there with 5 friends and we were very well treated by the staff. We had a bad experience there with 3 English friends that used to talk loud late at night, but we changed rooms and everything after that was fine. The place is clean, the temperature is comfortable and the service is perfect.
Furthermore, the price is...

This was a hotel to just stay in after I arrived from my 26 hour flight, It was clean and tidy, the kitchen areas were ok, and they look after your luggage if you need to hang around . The bathrooms were ok but its not ensuite. Shower was reasonably good. I dont remember being upset about it.

This place really is luxury hostel/hotel. They have different types of rooms. I stayed couple nights in female dorm and then in mixed dorm. Lockers in the rooms are huge!!! U can but your whole backpack in that locker. They offer full linen here and come to change those once a week. Every bed u have own plug, lamp and...

Overall, the Space Hotel is modern, very clean, conveniently located near the Melbourne CBD and the great Carlton / Italian district. There's a movie room, full-on professional kitchen, and helpful staff. The only problem we had was on karaoke night because we were on the 2nd floor right over the nightclub / bar and the hotel was full, so we...

Hello Bob, It is great to read that you enjoyed our central location and took advantage of all the facilities we have to offer.We thank you for your feedback and would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the noise from the bar we have adjusted the volume restrictions and base levels for the bar so that the music...

I purchased this hotel for 4 nights because it was the only one for around $200 AUD in the CBD.
Important:
- This is not a hotel, it's a hostel. So while the price seems the cheapest for a Melbourne, it's an expensive hostel.
- I got the single room with shared facilities. There is no bathroom, shower, toilet, fridge...

The space hotel is a beautifully kept hotel. For a little bit more money you get a lot more than other hostels/hotels. The rooms and public areas are newly renovated and kept exceptionally clean. Upon my arrival I was happily upgraded without asking from a double room to a double room with ensuite and balcony. We only stayed for two...

Efficient, clean, modern. Good location at the top if Russell Street within easy walking around CBD. Although it attracts a younger backpacker crowd there are several private rooms with either private or shared bathrooms. I had a double bed with shared bathroom, toilets and showers were always available. Great view of the city and the rooftop garden is a plus!...

Stayed here for 3 nights, and really enjoyed it. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and had all the facilities necessary. Only down sides would be the bar downstairs can get a bit loud at night, and the location - while not terrible - is sliiiightly out of the way if you want to be exploring the CBD and south...
